A 30 foot interactive Christmas Tree at Union Station that glows brightly the more Christmas messages are shared online.
In 2011, Moment Factory was approached by Tribal DDB agency on behalf of Canadian Tire to collaborate on an installation that would re-energize Canadians with the holiday spirit. The goal was to infuse holiday travel at Union Station (Toronto) with thought of spending cherished time with friends and family. Conceptually, this project would be a challenge: how do we make the idea of family and friends physically present in the train station?
